Wow, what a classy beautiful & classy restaurant! The staff are friendly & excellent in their job. The service was impeccable. We had three course meal to celebrate my birthday. I started with the soup of the day, with sweet potato, squash & carrots. It was heartwarming. Then my main platter was lobster à la vanilla. The aroma was enchanting & the taste was out of the world. We finished the dinner a classic crème brûlée. So succulent. It's a high end restaurant therefore the price is super high. Overall worth it.

Good experience, I expected more for the price. Filet mignon was cold. I don't recommend the onion soup, flavourless with burned taste. Ravioli were the best on the menu.

We had dinner at the Bonaparte restaurant & is was great. The maître D very cheerfully escorted us to our table. Our waitress Juliette(?) was excellent. I couldn't commend the wait staff more. They were all very attentive. The food was fabulous. I had the shrimp & scallop appetizer. My entree was the cod special & it was out of this world. My had lobster & loved it. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more,

Bonaparte is kind of like the Disney Land version of a French restaurant, meant for tourists only. It's not horrible, but also not worth a second visit.

Bon mais pas exceptionnel à mon goût. Service chaleureux & ambiance chic

Assez déçu par mon expérience. Déjà, il ne devrait pas être possible de réserver au bar. L'ambiance est complètement différente de la salle à manger contrairement à d'autres restaurants où l'ambiance reste la même. même si le service était sympa on s'est pris plusieurs fois des glaçons dessus. Pour ce qui est des plats. Les raviolis étaient vraiment bons ainsi que le cocktail. Par contre j'ai trouvé que l'assiette était un peu vide. Bref, je ne pense pas y retourner compte tenu du rapport qualité prix très faible.

Stumbled in here on a rainy night & got a table for 2 without a reservation. What a treat! Fantastic service from George, our waiter. Food & wine were excellent, we really enjoyed the wild game terrine. - & if you go here be sure to have the Calvados Soufflé for dessert.

Very nice restaurant, however I did have higher expectations. Our waiter wasn't the friendliest which was a bit unexpected, & the food was good, but didn't blow us away. I had the rack of lamb, which was cooked to perfection, but lacked in flavor.

Excellent dining experience. We enjoyed many delicious courses & the wine pairing was fantastic. The service was also great, & the staff were very friendly & explained all of the dishes & wines. They even give you a sealed copy of the menu to take as a nice souvenir!

Lovely food with strong drinks, classic décor & attentive wait staff. The filet mignon would've been better marinated, & the portions are on the smaller side. That said, the fricassée mushrooms were delicious, & the lobster with vanilla was amazing after salt had been added

J'ai eu le plaisir d'être invitée par mon fils & son épouse au Bonaparte pour fêter mon anniversaire. C'est avec joie que nous avons été accueillis par Monsieur George dans une ambiance tout à la fois dynamique & harmonieuse. On a le sentiment d'être attendus! Le service professionnel & chaleureux de Simon, son sourire & ses suggestions furent grandement appréciés. Enfin, la cuisine est d'un très haut niveau & le chef propose une carte variée & très goûteuse. À essayer absolument, les raviolis aux champignons & le soufflé au Grand Marnier, un délice pour les papilles. Merci à tous pour cette soirée magique & au plaisir de se revoir bientôt.

Menu dégustation très intéressant avec un accord de vin judicieux... mais malheureusement, deux services m'ont déçu, soient : leur raviolis champignons (pâtes sous cuites & sans goût avec un sérieux manque de farce aux champignons) & leur carré d'agneau très très mince demandé médium-saignant... mais reçu bleu. L'ambiance & surtout le service sont au top d'une étoile Michelin.

Mes amies & moi sommes allées souper au restaurant Bonaparte pour mon anniversaire! Dès que nous sommes rentrées, l'ambiance & le décor chic de l'hôtel nous ont tout de suite fait bonne impression! Mathieu, notre serveur a fait preuve d'un service irréprochable & d'une gentillesse incroyable! Avant de commencer, des serviettes chaudes imbibées d'huile essentielles nous ont été fournies pour se désinfecter les mains. Ensuite, Mathieu nous a fait part de ses suggestions personnelles tout en nous expliquant les principales composantes de ses plats préférés! Comme c'était mon anniversaire, j'ai eu le droit à une bougie « étincelle » sur mon dessert :) (belle attention) Nous avons commandé les raviolis de champignons, le tartare de boeuf & l'émulsion de pétoncles & de crevettes comme entrées & tout était délicieux! Je recommande de choisir les raviolis si vous voulez une entrée à partager. J'enlève une étoile, car les plats principaux que nous avons choisi: jarret d'agneau & canard étaient un peu ordinaires. Comme desserts, nous avons commandé tarte aux pommes, gâteau au fromage & mon amie voulait une salade de fruits & bien qu'elle n'était pas sur le menu, Mathieu a su répondre à sa demande! Le coup de coeur a définitivement été la tarte aux pommes :) Bref! Je reviendrai définitivement pour essayer d'autres plats sur la carte & je retiens une expérience mémorable & luxueuse au restaurant Bonaparte, surtout grâce au service de Mathieu & à la qualité des plats!
